ETT appoints Richie's Engineering Services as Australian distribution partners

MACKAY QUEENSLAND – 10 August 2022 – ETT is proud to announce the appointment of Richie’s Engineering Services (RES), based in Mackay, Queensland as their official distribution partner in Australia.

The agreement, which was concluded during the latter part of July 2022, presents a powerful platform for the official entrance of ETT products into the Australian market. The agreement allows RES to work with ETT and develop local dealers within strategic territories in Australia to market, sell and support the key range of world-class mining and construction equipment products manufactured by ETT.

ETT products now available in Australia include the lowest centre of gravity ADT water tank available in the market, plus a wide range of rigid truck water tanks and state-of-the-art diesel tanks to fit ADT and rigid trucks. Also heading to the Australian coast is the ETT modular designed solution for lubricant service trucks and the ultimate combination of diesel and lubricant service tanks. Completing the range, ETT will introduce the world-class off-road lowbed trailer range and recovery gooseneck solutions, designed for efficiency and improved mine site equipment mobility.

“With these products now available in Australia, we expect to expand the relationship platforms we have built with various world-renowned equipment OEMs and mining houses. This range of products round off the full product offering which is accessible through RES,” said Andre McDuling, ETT Managing Director.

Frank De Ponte, General Manager of RES, said: “RES has built a solid reputation in Australia with engineering and manufacturing accomplishments central to our offering. This coupled with the quality-designed products from ETT offers a sound partnership of identifying customer needs and translating these into final specialised equipment solutions, ensuring that products are successfully delivered, commissioned and supported on site.”

ETT and RES will select and appoint dealer partners in strategic locations near high-volume customers and end-users. These Dealers will provide a level of after sales and support driven by the understanding and importance of equipment uptime and excellent customer service. This experience and skill base that customers have become accustomed to from RES coupled with the exceptional ETT product range provides a winning formula.

For almost 30 years, ETT has been working with all the major OEMs in Africa, refining products and ensuring that products are manufactured in such a manner as to be universally fitted across different designs of chassis. This principle coupled with the modular design and the attention to safety and quality has positioned ETT as a global player in specialised solutions for construction and mining equipment.
